Sayings of the Wise - #26 — “Receive Wisdom’s Sweet Reward” - (Prov. 24:13-14)

 Saying #26 — “Receive Wisdom’s Sweet Reward”

📖 Proverbs 24:13–14

“My son, eat honey, for it is good,

And the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste;

Know that wisdom is thus for your soul;

If you find it, then there will be a future,

And your hope will not be cut off.”

🌿 INTRODUCTION — The Taste of Wisdom

Women of Wisdom,

Saying #26 is one of the sweetest in the whole collection.
Here, Lady Wisdom gives us a picture so simple,
so warm,
so comforting:

Wisdom is like honey.

Honey is:
• natural
• nourishing
• delightful
• strengthening
• healing

Before God speaks of wisdom’s reward,
He reminds us of its sweetness.
Wisdom is not bitter medicine —
it is nourishment for the soul.

Lady Wisdom wants you to know:

“When you choose wisdom,
you are choosing a future —
a sweet, steady, protected future.”

🌼 MEANING OF THE SAYING

⭐ 1. “Eat honey… it is good.”

God isn’t only practical — He is pleasurable.
He uses something delightful (honey)
to teach us something spiritual (wisdom).
Wisdom is meant to refresh you.

⭐ 2. “So wisdom is for your soul.”

Just as honey strengthens the body,
wisdom strengthens:

• your emotions
• your decisions
• your desires
• your discernment
• your direction

Wisdom feeds where nothing else can.

⭐ 3. “There will be a future…”

When wisdom guides your steps,
your future becomes stable.
You’re not wandering — you’re walking.

⭐ 4. “Your hope will not be cut off.”

This is God saying:
“Your story will not end in disappointment.”
Hope rooted in wisdom is never wasted.
